FILL COOLING SYSTEM
CAUTION
If not filling coolant system immediately, tag master switch to warn others that engine coolant
has been drained.
NOTE
Use coolant in system at all times. It will reduce corrosion in engine block and cooling system
parts. Ethylene glycol coolant will provide low temperature protection. Mix coolant and clean
water based on protection label on container.
When filling the auxiliary tank, add coolant slowly to allow trapped air to escape.
1.
Fill system with coolant. Bring coolant level to COLD mark of filler neck.
2.
Install coolant filler cap (4) on auxiliary tank (5).
3.
Close coolant filler cap cover (6) on power plant grill (7).
CAUTION
Do not operate engine if temperature is 230
F (110
C) or above. Serious engine damage will
occur.
4.
Start and run engine until operating temperature of 180
to 230
F (82
to 110
C) is reached.
CAUTION
If engine coolant temperature gage reading is above 230
F (110
C), stop engine (see you -10)
and allow it to cool.
Check the following for cause of engine overheat:
Make sure air cleaner element is clean and installed right (see your -10).
Check fan belts (WP 0242 00) for correct adjustment.
Check radiator and air intake grill air passages. Clean and remove debris preventing free
movement of air (see your -10).
